Pentax WG-8 Digital Camera | Black

The PENTAX WG-8 Digital Camera from Ricoh is designed to reliably capture images in harsh weather and challenging environments. This model boasts the deepest operational capability in the WG series, being submersible to depths of 65.6 feet and featuring an IPX6 dustproof rating. It is capable of enduring extreme temperatures down to 14°F. Its intuitive design, along with a variety of practical features, facilitates straightforward camera use. Notable attributes include a built-in ring light, 5x optical zoom, and the ability to record 4K-resolution video clips, among others.

20MP BSI CMOS Sensor | 4K Video and Movie SR+

The WG-8 is equipped with a back-illuminated CMOS image sensor, enabling it to produce crisp 20MP images with minimal noise at sensitivities reaching ISO 6400. It also supports 4K-resolution video recording in H.264 format, facilitating the capture of high-quality extended video clips at 30 frames per second. Furthermore, the device features a Movie Shake Reduction mode, while the Movie SR+ mode offers shake reduction that is comparable to the stabilization provided by a gimbal.

5x Optical Zoom Lens and LED Ring Light

The 5x optical zoom lens offers a focal length range of 5mm to 25mm, corresponding to a full-frame equivalent of roughly 28mm to 140mm. With a minimum focusing distance of just 1cm, this lens is ideal for ultra-close macro photography. Additionally, the lens barrel is encircled by a six-LED ring light, enhancing the clarity and sharpness of images captured in low-light environments. The intensity of the emitted light can be modified to suit various conditions.
